Fiesta visit to the market, which opens at 3 am! We learnt so many useful things with our most helpful guide Sang. The cooking experience in itself was fabulous with a most entertaining and knowledgeable chef. We then ate what we had made. I would more than recommend this experience. Thank you

Driver picked us up on time and very helpful with luggage. He drove very safely all the way and slowly. Many other drivers passed us when we were behind slow vehicles. He only passed when it is 100% clear that there is no inbound traffic. He dropped us off safely. The vehicle was very clean and had no smell that would make anyone uncomfrotable. Good experience overall. I will call them if I ever need a driver again.

Going through the tunnels was so incredible! (Of course, they were made slightly bigger for foreigners, but wow, I emerged with even greater respect for the people who had to endure living and navigating those tunnels during the war.) Also, seeing my 6'4" (1m93cm) tall husband disappear into jungle floor through a secret entrance was just amazing! Our tour guide, Tuấn, was so insightful and told us about his many experiences in the war! Our driver, Hoàng, was great, too, he stopped to give us refreshments along the way, too. If you're in HCMC, you need to come to the Củ Chi tunnels!
